At least do no wrong to anyone...

From the blog, Jack’s Winning Words
comes this little gem - “Love all, trust
a few, do wrong to none.” (Shakespeare) This quote is from “All’s Well That
Ends Well,” and is advice that a mother gives her departing son.

Her son must have been going away to become a Realtor,
because that is great advice for the profession. You have to love dealing with
people to be in this profession and there are likely more than a few that you
can trust (but not all) and you certainly should try not to do wrong to any. I
note that it says do wrong to none and not the words used in the Hippocratic Oath
to “Do no harm”. I guess that’s why
there is E&O insurance.

So, Shakespeare’s advice might be something to post above
the door and take a quick look at each day as we set about doing real estate. Some
days it will be harder than others to love all and many days it’s tough to
trust very many but every day we can at least try to do wrong to none.

About Me

I'm a pre-Baby Boomer who just happens to be into technology and the Web. I created and maintain 6 Web sites - three for real estate (see above for links), one for the Milford Historical Society, one for teh Milford Car Show and one for my church. I've been a Realtor for a little over 10 years.
Prior to selling real estate, I had a 30 year career selling and marketing computers and related software and services for a variety of IT industry companies, many of them now long gone - Burroughs, Digital Equipment, Compaq, HP, EMC and SGI. I still keep up with what's happening in that space.
Now, I focus upon real estate, with a specialty in historic houses in and around the Milford, Michigan area. I'm also focusing more andmore on the needs of aging home buyers, since that is a category into which I fall myself.
I hope that you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy creating it. Feel free to let me know your opinions or to add your comments to mine. I also have another blog - normsmilfordblog.com that is a bit more unpredictable in its content. Try it if you haven't already.I'm also on activeRain, Facebook, Linked In and Twitter.
